Computations

  • AssetView is a highly computative environment
  • A transaction rolls up into a lot, into an asset, and into an account
  • Overlaying that hierarchy is a collection of AssetView features such as asset class aggregations and attribute aggregations
  • Overlaying that, if you enable, are data feeds from integrated Sources that supply your Personal Investment Data
  • Overlaying that are asset price feeds
  • Each new or changed transaction results in a need for re-computation of investment performance metrics for each-roll up and feature (e.g. profit, potential profit, Return %, MOM) across the stack

Calculate

  • AssetView, while computationally intense, is designed to enable you to enter, import, or receive through an integration large quantities of new or changed transactions rapidly
  • To achieve this, after you enter or edit a transaction, AssetView prompts you on the top right of the screen in an an orange font to "Calculate".
  • You may then choose to enter additional transactions and the "Calculate" indicator will stay lit
  • Whenever you wish, you may choose to invoke the re-computation process and AssetView will re-compute base don all of the transactions in the Calculate queue
  • Once the Calculate function is invoked, a "Tasks Running" indicator shows until the critical computations complete
  • You may continue entering data once that indicator ends

Fields That You Instruct When to Compute

  • To optimize performance, AssetView performs some computations upon your instruction
  • These fields display a lightning icon that you click to invoke the computation process

Fields Awaiting Results of Automatic Computation

  • To optimize performance, AssetView performs some computations automatically in the background
  • Fields awaiting the results of these background process computations show a "*" until the computed results display

Sync Button

  • The Sync button synchronizes all data (e.g. sources, accounts, assets, transactions)
  • The Sync process is computational intense
  • So, we put you in control of when you invoke the process by clicking the Sync icon on the top menu bar
  • To maximize efficiency, on a specific Source page, you may:
    • Sync just that Source
    • Disable Sync such that a particularly detailed Source temporarily does not participate in the general Sync process

Refresh Pricing

  • AssetView automatically refreshes asset prices
  • You may also click the "Refresh Pricing" button to manually invoke the process
